Moderation is a convenient scapegoat and an easy way to avoid personal responsibility.

Actually saying what you just said is "a convenient scapegoat and an easy way to avoid personal responsibility".How very typical of you to be guilty of your own accusation.

You are always more insecure than you think, just not by what you think.The only absolute certainty is formed by the absolute lack of alternatives.It is not merely "do what works", but "to accomplish what purpose in what time frame at what cost".As long as the authority is secretive, the population will be subjugated.

Good old ILP.

Venting what and blaming whom? I have neither vented at anyone nor blamed anyone for anything here, so no straw-manning now ok

I am very happy thanks.. couldn't be better You?

Magsj, you're the very reason I started treating people worse here. Your modding a actions and subsequent aloof and dismissive comments gave me the sign that ILP is nothing to respect, just a place to shit. I try to ignore that and keep posting serious things but it´s increasingly difficult. Thanks for that.

I am responsible for my own actions and decisions, aren't you?

So.. you are blaming me for your ok actions as you blame my illness for my imaginary ones... bravo

Go and attack someone else, and at least have some validity behind it when you do so, and you still attack without knowing anything about my illness, so again bravo

I was going to reply to your DM today asking for my help with advertising jobs and accommodation in London as I've been busy with many commitments to do so until now, but your post has convinced me to do otherwise, so again.. bravo

I briefly just scanned this thread. I have a news update. Your stature has diminished, slightly, in my estimation. Granted, it was somewhat high and inflated after I had learned that you were a leader in a forum that allowed only capital letters. I've no doubt that my full faith in you will be restored sometime soon, after a post about Sauwelios or something.

PS. Ol' Gobbo has a twitter account? Did I see you mention that somewhere? I'll have to get on twitter, he was a good dude.

.Can you please elaborate on that. I know what karma means. But what do you mean?

Don't imagine that your comment is different in nature.

Well, you'll have to explain to me how that is true. Perhaps you thought that my response was arrogant, if indeed that is what you felt. But it was not - at least it was not meant to be. i was trying to point something out to you - that itself might appear to be arrogance to you. But my intent was to show you something, to teach you something. Feel free to do the same for me. But I wasn't being ridiculing as you were.

The nature of your karma and comments would appear to be "an eye for an eye" - for me, mine was to open up your eyes. Yes, arrogant, I know. Answer a question for me: As a philosopher, are you simply all scholar (I admire you as a scholar) or do you also wish to peer into your own nature, the truth that is you and your existence?

SAPERE AUDE!

If I thought that everything I did was determined by my circumstancse and my psychological condition, I would feel trapped.

What we take ourselves to be doing when we think about what is the case or how we should act is something that cannot be reconciled with a reductive naturalism, for reasons distinct from those that entail the irreducibility of consciousness. It is not merely the subjectivity of thought but its capacity to transcend subjectivity and to discover what is objectively the case that presents a problem....Thought and reasoning are correct or incorrect in virtue of something independent of the thinker's beliefs, and even independent of the community of thinkers to which he belongs.

I mean i just realized not long ago that james is on the RM kick. I make it a point not to know any of you. It helps me sort the bs. Lately, the site has been flooded and spammed by the same racist, sexist kts member hiding thier idebtitjes and ruining any kind of good discussion. I think that has to be addressed. Even still, its not the racism or sexism that's the main problem. Its that the reasoning is poor. The posters are incoherent and the shit only serves as a distraction to good discourse. Anyone who doesnt see this is an idiot.

I don't like some of the conclusions people are coming to, but I can't out argue them in debate. So instead I'm going to say their reasoning is poor, and something needs to be done about that.

If you can't see that you're a moron.

.Can you please elaborate on that. I know what karma means. But what do you mean?

Bad karma, a kernel of it. ILP has been accumulating a lot of my bad karma. I feel a lot of frustration with the entropic minds gathered here. Yet I feel compelled to reflect on it.I think karma is an elaborate form of reflection.

I could walk away - but habits die hard.

The ridicule is in assuming I don't now that this thread is vulgar and base.

Oh there should be no doubt that I am prideful. But I can only take credit for the things I really do. Part of why you guys like me so much is because of my serious degree of authenticity. If I claimed to smoke crack but didn't smoke it, then I would be diminished in my own eyes...the ones that matter.

You see...a pimp's love is very different from that of a square.Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks at you in disgust, but deep down they want some too.
